I have the "Very Hungry Caterpillar Card Game". Please answer the following questions on the rules of the game: 1. It is not clear the rule for the playing of Saturday food cards. What does "All players should call out the Saturday food cards played to avoid repeats" mean? Should a player lay out all his Saturday cards in one turn, or should he lay out one Saturday card and tell the other players how many more Saturday cards he has left? 2. Is a player obliged to play a food card with the right day of the week, if any? Or does he instead have the right to play a leaf / wild card to reset the progression of the game? 3. Do caterpillar cards take part in the game, or are they just lying on the table?

The instructions are not clear. When you near the end, do you keep spinning until you land on the exact # & letter? Also...the game pieces are so large, they cover the letters on the game board. Disappointed.

Dont like this game as the instructions arent clear. Do you only stop on the Feed your caterpillar circles if you land on them when taking your turn ?. If not, whats the point of the spinner ?.How many fruits is enough before you can move ?. Wont be playing again

When playing the game do you have to stop on the rectangular spaces that say stop and spin a sun and stop and spin a moon or do you only do these if you land on them? Thanks
